The Miami Heat will be highly motivated for a victory tonight in Washington after suffering back-to-back losses coming in. While they have lost two games in a row on three different occasions this season, they have yet to lose three straight, and I don’t expect it to happen tonight, either.

The Heat have had four days off prior to this game, so they are well-rested and ready to go. That rest was huge in getting back a healthy Dwyane Wade from a knee injury. Also, Shane Battier is expected to be back after missing the past five games due to a strained quad.

The Wizards have lost seven of their last eight home games. Miami is 9-3 against Washington since acquiring Lebron James, and two of those losses came when he did not play. The Wizards have just one win against a team with a winning record this season, and that was Atlanta (20-18).

Miami is 12-3 ATS in its last 15 road games versus poor defensive teams that allow 46% or worse shooting. The Heat are 26-11 ATS in their last 37 games following two losses in their last three games. Miami is 17-6 ATS in its last 23 games following a S.U. loss. Bet the Heat Wednesday.
